The German cockroach is the cockroach to fear, the species that gives all other cockroaches a bad name. It occurs in structures throughout Florida, and is the species that typically plagues multifamily dwellings, restaurants and Hotels.
The German cockroach is found throughout the world in association with humans. They are unable to survive in locations away from humans or human activity. They are so numerous due to their high reproductive capacity. The main problem with them is that their favorite diet consists of remnants of people’s food (though actually they can eat almost anything). That is why these nasty little creatures tend to live as close to people as they can, and their favorite accommodation is a human dwelling. Dirty and Disgusting You can easily recognize these nasty little guys. Adults have tan or light brown coloration with two remarkable dark strips on their protonum, going from their head to the back. Young roaches are almost black in color, but they have the same strips. They also bring lots of germs and bacteria in the houses, as their favorite places to explore are far from clean. They secrete odor compounds, so if their population is large, you may smell a mild musty smell in the room.
They may be brought in in boxes, bags, and furniture. So check all your things outside before bringing the bag into your home if you suspect that you have cockroaches in it. Once the roach infestation has started in your apartment, have every confidence the pests are planning to stay with you for a longtime. We had one tenant purchase items from a yard sale that were infested with German cockroach. So if you start seeing German cockroach in your home, most likely they hitchhiked on some item you brought into your house.
